Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon: Updates

Like with last year, I’m going to be updating my progress every hour. However, I’ll only be publishing the update every few hours so that I’m not on my computer constantly. Newest updates will be at the top. Keep checking in if you’re curious how I’m doing 🙂 If you’re updating on your blog, leave the link in the comments so I can stop by!

Follow me on snapchat at busy_living to see more updates throughout the day!

Not much new to report. I’m not sure why I’m reading How to Be a Normal Person so slowly. Maybe because I’m enjoying it so much that I want to take time to appreciate every word. And I have to keep stopping to laugh.

Mid-Event Survey:

1. What are you reading right now?How To Be A Normal Person by T.J. Klune
2. How many books have you read so far?2 novels and 25% finished with my 3rd & 2 novellas
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?Looking forward to finishing How To Be A Normal Person because I’m LOVING it
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?Only those I caused myself. Breaks to eat, take my dog outside, and a couple short breaks to waste time online (watching Buzzfeed videos, etc)
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?The time has really flown by! Last year I remember feeling like the day dragged on for so long, even though I was having fun. Maybe it’s because I’m not participating in mini-challenges and interacting on social media as much, so I’m not documenting every single hour as it passes.

Hour 11: 5PM

Hour 10: 4PM

Warmed up some garlic cheddar dip and spent some time online while I snacked. Didn’t get much reading done this hour.

Currently at page 82 in Anything Could Happen and 26% finished with How to Be a Normal Person.
